Comments:

What great timing!  Since I'm antenna-challenged in my present QTH, and not
wishing to impinge on my son and his family any more than necessary, I decided
to pick up a 10M monobander, a telescoping mast, and set things up so that I
can just raise it by myself at his place a few days before each contest.  Aside
from nearly having the thing crash down on me before I could tie off the guy
ropes, it all worked as planned.  Of course, what I couldn't plan for were
those awesome conditions on my one and only band.

Even running LP, I managed to run 'em pretty well, finding that the wide open
spaces gave me plenty of room to find a quiet spot.  Sometimes that even meant
going above 29.000!  But those EUs kept finding me way up there, so the rate
meter stayed up pretty well.

I was nursing a cold throughout the weekend, and when an SP station wished me
luck with it, I realized that my earlier recorded CQ message must have sounded
like it was from a different station, what with my gravelly voice coming back. 
But I didn't have time to worry about how I was feeling, there were EUs to run
and mults to find.
